Skag Fried Brain On A Stick
The car sped past the gate flattening two skags as it slid to a halt. "Come bloodwing" Said Roland as he stepped from the car and headed toward the rusty broken down barriers. The town hadn't changed in the
years since the vault, if anything the towns dustier, the people stranger, and the claptrap glitchier. "Roland! It's good to see you my friend. You never come here without a reason so tell me, what is it that you need?"
Said Zed as Roland approached his shop. "Mordecai is dead" Replied Roland in an angry tone. "Oh wow im sorry… but you know in his pursuit of knowledge im not a damn bit surprised. Kid there is some things in
Pandora you just don't need to know… Mordecai didn't think there was anyone who could stop him and he was wrong. If I where you kid, I would not pursue the truth, just let it go if you value your own life" Roland
paused and tried to understand the reasoning behind what Zed had said. "Your wrong about one thing" Said Roland, "there is no bandit or monster in Pandora that could kill Mordecai, hell I couldn't kill him on my
best day. Whatever happened, I will find out and kill whoever did this even if I loose my life trying." "That's your decision kid, it was nice knowing you." Said Zed "Yeah same for you, now just give me a brain, I
have to make skag fried brain on a stick" Replied Roland. "Going to see TK I see, may I ask why?" said a voice coming from the entrance of the shop. "Ah Lilith I never get tired of hearing from you" Grumbled
Roland, "I need some information and TK never cooperates if he's hungry, so I will save myself the trouble of hunting down a bandit." "Well maybe I can help. What information do you need?" Said Lilith "Here you
go" said Zed as he handed Roland the brain "Now get the hell out your holding up progress." "Come Lilith we will talk outside" Said Roland. "Don't forget what I said kid…" Said Zed. Roland stopped just before the
exit and turned around giving Zed a cross look, then walked out behind Lilith. Roland stepped outside the shop and stood still, staring at the hard cracked ground. "Lilith... Someone has killed Mordecai" said
Roland. "Yes I heard you talking to Ned; it's hard to imagine what could have taken down Mordecia like that." Replied Lilith. There was no response from Roland, Lilith turned to look directly into his eyes "We don't
need to lose anymore friends, Roland don't get yourself killed. You are right, you couldn't kill Mordecia on a good day; so whatever killed him wouldn't think twice about killing you." Roland sighed "I know but I can't
just take this, who knows it could be you, me, brick, anyone could be next. I have to find out what happened" Lilith looked down with a frown and mumbled "Well anytime you need me, you know where I am, and I
really am sorry about Mordecia." Roland smiled and said "Thanks, I will remember that and don't worry about me; I won't die on you just yet." Lilith gave Roland a worried look, and then walked away. "Hey kid if it
makes you feel any better I will drop by his shack and examine the body" Yelled Zed from inside his shop. "Thanks Zed" replied Roland as he walked back into the shop "There is something I noticed though that
keeps entering my mind." Zed set down in his chair and crossed his legs "I'm listening." "I found a note" Said Roland " It said "He knew too much, I suggest you learn from his mistake and back off" but there are
only a handful of people on Pandora that can read and write, let alone spell that well." Zed shifted in his seat "That is strange, then its definite, your not dealing with someone from Pandora, and it looks like who
ever it is is watching you too, like I said Roland I will examine the body but if this killer is that serious, then that's all I can do." Roland nodded and exited the shop.
